Sure, but it wouldn't be the first time Hasbro just reused a TLK mold in Studio Series instead of making a new mold.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Do you suppose it could be a retool of that TLK mold?-Kanrabat- wrote:The blurry picture isn't showing much.

It's possible that it could be a retool, but you'll end up with something quite small. A modified oversized (slightly oversized) could be made, but doing it for a mold that is almost 8 years old would be baffling and extremely disappointing.

Hence why I specified "retool" rather than a simple redeco. They could possibly reengineer the TLK mold like how Siege Springer was reengineered into SS86 Springer.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Sure, but it wouldn't be the first time Hasbro just reused a TLK mold in Studio Series instead of making a new mold.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Do you suppose it could be a retool of that TLK mold?-Kanrabat- wrote:The blurry picture isn't showing much.

If you're speaking about KSI Boss, that was just a straight repaint. Oh and there's Cogman too.
But if they simply repack the voyager Optimus with some extra accessories to make it a "leader", I'll be pissed.

Widowmaker is officially being called “KSI Widow” on her packaging. Can’t call her Widowmaker due to overwatch.

It's happened before. G1 Darkwing was released in 1988, three years before Disney would release Darkwing Duck and forever keep that "Darkwing" Trademark for themselves.Glyph wrote:(though I'm genuinely shocked that it was 3+ years before Overwatch).
Don't worry, Hasbro's family-friendliess is likely to nip that in the bud.Glyph wrote:and the bare chest...

Top-right corner:-Kanrabat- wrote:Also, the first run of Transmetal Blackarachnia had a removable brassiere and the peg-holes were inside the brassiere. They quickly reversed that after. No pictures unfortunately.

Oh, I'm very much aware.-Kanrabat- wrote:This won't be the first time. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Glyph wrote:She has nipples, FFS.
Yeah, don't put words in my mouth. I made no such general comparison and don't agree with it.-Kanrabat- wrote:Regardless, please stop thinking that female beauty is automatically equal to "porn." That attitude led to all that ugliness in Western media. No wonder anything from Asia sells more.
The engineering to combine the two designs is more challenging of course, hence the prevalence of shellformers. But Minerva / Strongarm not curvy enough for you? ROTB Arcee? Energon Arcee?-Kanrabat- wrote:And speaking of "lazy design", I find it lazy when we have a curvy fembot, but it's just a "Barbie" shellformer.
I'll be impressed to have a "sexy" curvy fembot with absolutely NO shells that transform into a vehicle. Especially in the deluxe scale and budget.
Yeah, I was mostly surprised by the overall similarity in design, not just the name. If you'd shown me the design without a date on it, I would have guessed one was "inspired" by the other - but then, I suppose there's only so many places you can go with the name "widow maker" and the idea of a femme fatale (paging Blackarachnia...), and Overwatch didn't exactly originate the concept either.Sabrblade wrote:It's happened before.

Glyph wrote:I... can't see how you get that impression when the likes of Windblade / Slipstream exist, but I suspect we're working from different definitions of "curvy".
But yes, motorcycles and organic modes do tend to mesh better with the slighter, slimmer frame and curves of the standard battle-bikini femme design.
But wasn't your complaint before that the femme torso hides inside a box? Not that that's any different from a masc torso really, usually for cars it's the arms or back kibble hiding the sides of the torso, for jets it's just square arms down the side.-Kanrabat- wrote:I wish for a voyager Windblade that would be able to manage her kibble brilliantly in bot mode (I can accept huge knee-high "boots" and a minimum backpack like the still very good Legacy mold) but the jet would be able to hide the arms and fem-torso flawlessly.
Here you go. Now this I would like to see. (Bulkhead partial like the BotCon attempt?)-Kanrabat- wrote:Also, I have a dream fembot design in mind, but I wonder how to make it. I'd like to make a HUGE-MAMA fembot. Like, "ultra thicc" but still curvy, with a monster-truck altmode.
